Looking at the concept art I spotted a light switch. I hope you consider adding them at some point, this would be a cool and fresh new addition to the series.
It would really add to the realism.
BUT
It should be a functional object with an animation,
NOT a decorative object!
When you click on it you can turn all the lights in this room off and on.

Don't get the point, as realism is what you make it. Sims is far from realism - I mean you can set how long a sim lives, babies take just few days to be born, every sim has a ghost form that communicates with the family and friends, sim teleport every where and make hourly wages most of us could only dream about with out ever needing an education. Really - where exactly is the realism anyway. It is definitely NOT in the Sims. LOL.
Now a days though you can already set lights to motion sensors to make the lights come on when you enter a room - just like the sims lights normally do. That too is realism as it happens in real life if that is the same reason you need light switches. In the sims I don't really want wall space to go to light switches to be honest so I hope if it did come in the game - maybe in a build pack, it will remain an item of choice.
Personally I like motion sensor lights idea, and will be glad when they are every where, in real life, if for nothing else but a safety feature in homes.

by the way seeing as how we already have that in the game - well you know we already have couches and paintings - i guess we have enough - maybe they shouldn't bother with what we already have plenty of? silly right? ridiculous - give us more crap to decorate with! we like it - the more realistic the better. you can't please everyone but the majority of decorators prefer objects that actually look good and make sense in their builds.
They were asking for working light switches - not decor ones. That was suggested and they said they had decor ones.
here's what that simmer said - I was replying to:
"It should be a functional object with an animation, NOT a decorative object!

Then they mentioned modders had made some so why couldn't Maxis -
Hence my reply. As I do not use mods, nor do I suggest anyone to use them. So I was not suggesting that - .It was the OP.

I next to no cc since S3 Supernatural came out in S3 and none in S4. I love realism and would love the addition of light switches. Since lights come on when clicking them, then it should be easy to click a switch and do the same. I haven't paid attention, but if we still don't have a fan with a light that works, then I would like that too. Maybe they could do an electronics pack one day.
But the question is, will it be functional?
